Business Outlook
Pros
They treat their people well. It's a friendly work environment, and you feel like a person not just a drone.
Cons
You will likely be in the same job forever. Watch out for annual Fall culling/layoffs. Keep an eye on cliques

Thanks for the review and for the directness of your concerns. We are definitely interested in providing career growth and it's troubling to hear that you didn't feel that Wiley offered that sort of path. Please know that it is of utmost importance and we're working continuously to create those opportunities and improve those processes.
Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.
Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments.
Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
